By Augusten Burroughs
Located in Southbury, CT
Featuring eleven robin's egg blue and green natural and untreated jadeite jade, splashed with gold, and five undyed baroque-shaped platinum-toned Tahitian pearls, all threated on incredibly strong Titanium wire and finished with a Titanium clasp.

Turquoise & Silver Ring American, Circa 1920s
Located in Southbury, CT
This sleek, graphic turquoise and silver ring was created near the 1920s, and is consistent in design, quality, and materials to rings created by the Zuni nation; however the ring is not signed. And therefore, it cannot be sold as "Native American."
Some people prefer to retain the "patina" almost always encountered on rings created by Native Americans. But this has always puzzled me. When Queen Elizabeth toured Africa and wore her favorite diamond crown, that crown was thoroughly cleaned and polished. I don't recall ever seeing Frank Ghery or Elsa Peretti or Paloma Picasso silver jewelry...

A cushion-shaped, mixed-cut, eye-clean 4.04 unheated royal blue sapphire from Madagascar is the discussion here.

Unheated sapphires with an interior as clean as this stone, and with such a fine, even tone are exceedingly rare and highly valuable.

Carved Jade Ring Bi-Color Highly Translucent Certified Untreated
Located in Southbury, CT
This is a highly translucent hand-carved new jadeite jade ring. It's a masterpiece of subtle and lapidary skill. The green face has been carved with a chamfered edge that gives this centuries-old style of ring a decidedly modern aesthetic.
The ring displays extraordinary translucency. If it was entirely colorless and this translucency was the ring's primary feature, it would be a stunning and worthy jewel. But it is not colorless. The jade is bi-color: fresh, light green and yellow. The combination of strong lines and soft colors make this a stunningly unique ring.
It's like wearing captured light on your finger. Jadeite is a highly durable gem and this is a ring you can actually wear every day. I have another nearly a century old and it shows no sign of wear at all.
For the jade purist, this is the ideal: no gold, no diamonds...

Chinese Antique Jade Necklace Near Colorless Certified Untreated, Restrung
Located in Southbury, CT
Created by hand between 1910-1920, this 21" strand of natural, untreated, Burmese jadeite jade possesses an ethereal, luminous beauty. Though they have been classified as "pale green to near colorless" in the gem lab report, each bead is has its own subtle tone. True, from a distance the beads read as white. But then, step into the shadows and their subtle tones are liberated. The tones are there in the light, too: it's just that sometimes looking isn't enough; you need to look but you also need to see.
I think this is a spectacular strand for the subtlety of the tone and the quality of translucence. I've used low light to shoot them, so that you can see how gorgeous they are i the lowest of light.

Chinese Antique Qing Carved "Mutton Fat" Nephrite Plaque Pendant Certified
Located in Southbury, CT
Elegant, rare, and dating to the late Qing period (circa 1890s), this hand-carved nearly colorless white nephrite plaque has been etched on both sides. One one, the Chinese mythological figure known as Zhang Guo Lao is depicted riding a mule. On the opposite side, a magpie sits on a branch of cherry blossoms. The magpie is associated with intelligence. The carving is breathlessly simple and excellent; the work executed -of course- without the aid of electricity or modern tools.
Measuring 42.54mm x 29.92mm, the plaque has a hole drilled through the center, which is original to the piece. A silver bail is threaded through the hole and a pair of beads -black jade and coral- reside at the bottom. The jade plaque hands from a 1920s silver chain that is 32" in length.
Prior to the discovery of and appreciation for the very fine green jadeite from Burma, colorless, opaque, pure white nephrite jade from the Northern mountains of China was the most revered jade; the original "imperial jade, as only members of the royal court could wear or even touch it.

Jade Ring GIA Certified Untreated Purple Jadeite, Size 10 ½
Located in Southbury, CT
This extraordinary ring was hand-carved from a single piece or natural and untreated GIA-Certified Burmese jadeite jade. The translucent stone is purple with a hint of light green. Click on the image of the GIA certificate and you will see that it does not describe the color as "lavender" but rather "purple." Making this ring all the more rare. The stone is luminous and absolutely gorgeous in all light; whether direct sunlight or the soft, low light of evening when the ring seems to glow from within.
This is a large, substantial ring that was created for a size 10 ¼ - 10 ½ finger. Because the ring is thick, it's not possible to get a perfect reading on my ring mandrel, but if your finger is anywhere from a size 9 ½ (like mine) or a 10 ½, it should fit (though with a 9 ½ finger, the ring will have much more play). If your finger is smaller, your jeweler can create an insert liner from gold, silver or any metal you like and this will allow the ring to fit a much smaller finger -it just depends on how thick the liner is. This would be a project for you and your own local jeweler.
In all my years of collecting jade, do you know how many untreated purple jade rings...
